So I had to kill gvim
« on: August 09, 2006, 10:49:16 PM »
Over the last few months we've noticed that several files were mysterously adding newlines to the end of php files after the ?>
Now this is bad because that new line is now HTML and it can cause all sorts of troubles on some servers.

We finally tracked it back to me.  It turns out that everytime I saved it would put a newline at the end of the file if there was one there.  Now comes the really fucked up part, inside the program itself I couldn't see it.  It would show/act like there was no newline.

So I had to kill it.  Lets hope edit plus 2 is better.

emacs will warn you if your source doesn't have a newline at the end. Many compilers/interpreters of various languages don't like not having a newline at the end.

LOL @ overthrown... I read the same thing. 

Also, this appears to be more of a software thing.... MOVED.

EditPlus is one of my favorite editors. I've trimmed down to just using jEdit (since my lappy is super powerful now) but I've used EditPlus for the last few years as my text editor of choice. Very fast and flexible.

Yes but it should still show the damn newline in the file.

I edit almost everything with the VS 2003 IDE.
Well, almost. Anything that VS doesn't have syntax hilighting for (perl python ruby etc) I use ConTEXT. Nice and lightweight with easily customisable syntax hilighters.
